    I just put online my new website, Flacy where I offer layouts and graphics that I make for free. I don't have a lot of content yet but does the website look ok? I went for small letters because I like them but I'd like to know if other people find that disturbing.. is the navigation easy to use as well?

    The design is pretty clean and looks consistent, I like it overall. I think the spacing between letters (within a word) is a little excessive, and makes it slightly trickier to read. The large white space to the right of your logo looks too empty, I think either you need a full site header instead of a small logo to fill the space, or you need to put something else there, e.g. navigation links. I personally don't like the broken line between your logo space and the rest of the page, I think a solid line or a more defined border would look cleaner.

    Thank for the review. :)

    About the header, I'll put ads up there once I have more content.. hopefully it won't look that empty after. I'll try experimenting with a solid line and without the letter spacing.

    Any other opinions?

    I checked out the site on my system.

    My screen is set at 1280 X 800. At this setting you have your site adjusting to this and leaves a lot of white space in the middle.

    I tested a few links and the WordPress link came up 404

    I tested this on PClinuxOS
    FireFox and Opera

    Other then that.... I love it... simple and clean

    Thanks for the review :)
    I just started adding things yesterday so some sections don't have any content. The problem with filling up the whitespace is 800x600.. whenever I have a really good idea it works on higher screen resolutions but it looks messed up on 800x600.. any tips on how I can make the site look good using every resolution?

    Hey, looks promising except that I agree with richwest, there lots of space by the logo and other parts!

    I just came across a little problem..
    I tried fixing the white space problem by using a java script that loads a different stylesheet depending on the resolution.. only problem is that it doesn't load in Firefox.. is there any way I can fix this?

    I quite like it well done, but agree there is alot of whitespace, try adding something right of the banner and more content and it will look great.
